Craft Beverage Destinations

Fresh. Local. Craft beverages.

New York State has a rich history with craft beverages. One of the largest beer and hop producers before Prohibition, we were known as the “hops capital” of the world throughout the 19th century. Thanks to our flourishing farms and agriculture, we continue to lead today as the nation’s 2nd highest producer of apples and 3rd highest producers of grapes, which is reflected--and tasted--at 460 wineries, 320 breweries, 124 distilleries and 35 cideries across the state. So what are you waiting for? Explore these craft beverage destinations and get a taste of New York State.
